Gladiator Polo™
About the tournament
After a successful inaugural season at Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in 2017, the fast-paced sport of Gladiator Polo™ is back for another month of action-packed competition. Gladiator Polo™ served as a crowd favorite last season and the 2018 calendar will not disappoint. The "Battle for the Carolinas" Series begins with the 'Battle for South Carolina' on Friday, June 8, followed by the 'Battle for North Carolina' on Saturday, June 16, and concludes with the Gladiator Polo™ Battle for the Carolinas - North Carolina vs. South Carolina Final on Saturday, June 23.
The fun will begin each evening at 6:00pm ET with TIEC's signature entertainment including free carousel and pony rides, face painting, live music, Gladiator-inspired activities, and more. There will be an exclusive autograph signing session with players in the front of Legends Plaza before the game, as well as a player meet-and-greet after the game at the Silo Bar. Fans of all ages can enjoy an authentic Argentine Asado buffet from 6:00pm until 10:00pm ET in the Legends Club. The first Gladiator Polo™ match of the season will start at 8:00pm ET. Tryon Resort's onsite shops, restaurants and bars will be open throughout the night. General admission and parking at Tryon Resort are free.
